1166 Registered and certified emission reduction credits

Registered and Certified Emission
Reduction Credits

[26 Pa.B. 3470]

   The following emission reduction credits (ERCs) have been approved, registered and certified by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department), Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. ERCs are surplus, permanent, quantified and Federally enforceable emission reductions used to offset emission increases of oxides of nitrogen (NO_x), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and the following criteria pollutants: carbon monoxide (CO), lead (Pb) and oxides of sulfur (SO_x), particulate matter (PM), PM-10, particulate.

   The Department has established a computerized ERC registry system, under 25 Pa. Code § 127.209, to provide for the registration, certification and tracking of ERCs. Prior to registration of the credits, ERC Registry Applications are reviewed and approved by the Department to confirm that the ERCs meet the requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206--127.208. Registration of the credits in the ERC registry system constitutes certification that the ERCs satisfy applicable requirements and that the credits are available for use. Following certification of the ERCs, they may be used for either of the following purposes:

   (1)  To satisfy new source review (NSR) offset ratio requirements;

   (2)  To ''net-out'' of NSR at ERC-generating facilities;

   (3)  To sell or trade the ERCs for use as offsets at new or modified facilities.

   The certified ERCs shown below, expressed in tons per year (tpy), satisfy the applicable ERC requirements contained in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206--127.208. These ERCs were generated from the permanent shutdown of air contamination sources. Therefore, as specified in 25 Pa. Code § 127.206(f), the credits will expire for use as offsets 10 years after the date the sources ceased emitting NO_x emissions, if the ERCs are not included in a plan approval and used as offsets by the expiration date.

   For additional information concerning this listing of certified ERCs, contact Virendra Trivedi, Bureau of Air Quality, Division of Permits, Department of Environmental Protection, 12th Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, P. O. Box 8468, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8468, [phone]. A copy of this notice is also posted on the DEP World Wide Web Site at http://www.dep.state.pa.us (select information by Environmental Subject/select Air Quality).
